"Hm..." Kuro looked around, "If only we had some keys..."

"I can check my backpack," Red said.

"What? You have a dancing map too?" Kuro asked mockingly.

"Can I get Pit back now?" Red sweated.

The trainer picks up his backpack and flips it over, practically dumping everything into a pile. He begins to pick out stuff from the pile.

"Berries..." Red throws said things in a random direction.

"Poke-nav..." throws said thing in the same direction.

"Rods..." throws said things in the same direction.

"Bicycl-"

"OKAY," Kuro emphasized in irritation, "I get that you have stuff but you don't have to say what you found."

"I could have maybe brought a cleffkey with me but there's no PCs here," Red sighed.

"Are we seriously relying on a pokemon that has one of the most stupid designs?" Kuro grumbled.

"Well it's at least better than you..." Red muttered under his breath.


~You know, still a plain mansion~

"Can we try to find a way to reach there?" Marth sighs.

"Maybe if... no..." Zelda crossed yet another idea out.

"First of all, how do we even get to the underworld?" Samus asked.

"Oh, I don't know."

"WHAT?!" the others yelled.

"Yeah, you see I used to have a record keeper but he died in a war a looooooooooooong time ago," Palutena smiles and waves her hand like it's no big deal.

"WHAT?!"

"Yeah, I sent him to record the war but his skull caught an arrow," Palutena continues to do the same.

"YOU'RE SKULL CAN'T CATCH AN ARROW!"

"It's nice to have Earth since he's practically my replacement record keeper but he's not here so-"

"WE KNOW THAT ALREADY!"

"Oh yeah~..." Palutena hummed.

"This is getting nowhere!" Samus groaned.

"And who's fault do you think it is?" Zelda slapped her forehead, referring to the smiling goddess.

"So if you can't remember how to reach the underworld, then what are we supposed to do about Pit and Red?" Marth asked.

. . .

"What do we do?" Zelda sweated.

"Well something! There's no way I'm leaving Pit in the care of a deranged snake woman!" Samus yelled.

"It's either we get to them, or they come to us," Ike thought out loud.

"That's true..." Marth sighed.

. . .

"So what were we talking about again?" Ike asked in a clueless way, causing everyone else to fall over.


~You know, still captured by a deranged snake woman~

"Well what's your current party?" Kuro sighed.

"Er..." Red sweated a bit as he dug through the pile more.

"None-"

"HAH?!" Kuro yelled, "WHAT THE HECK DUDE! WHAT KIND OF POKEMON TRAINER ARE YOU!"

"WELL I'M SORRY I DIDN'T PREDICT THAT A DERANGED SNAKE WOMAN WOULD KIDNAP ME!" Red yelled back.

Kuro lets out a sharp sigh, "Instead of calling Medusa a 'deranged snake woman', let's find a pokemon in that junk pile of your's first, okay?" he tries to ask calmly.

"Oh! I did have a pokemon with me!" Red found a pokeball, "I was intending to give this to Master Hand to use in battle but I guess I forgot."

"What pokemon is it?"

"A jynx-"

"Ew! Gross! No!" Kuro shivered.

"I don't think those three words are supposed to be used in one line," Red sweated, "And what's so wrong with a jynx?"

"Those things are weird!" Kuro yelled, "Never mind! Find some other pokemon!"

"Aahh you're such a spoiled brat! In fact this jynx is a whole lot better than you!" Red shouted, but instead of seeing the black angel he so a very angry Cherry.

"Ah." Red started to sweat.
